191
inherent biases in intelligence
habit

could develop an inherent bias. reading history creates inherent biases
193
why doesn't the enemy need to be local
enemy doesn't need to have the local populace agree with their actions
- some degree of control even physhologically like fear
194

all impacts island hopping
lift capabilities, weather, transportation lanes
204
"don't know what you don't' know so you need to know what to ask"
need conversations ahead to time about capabilities and how to ask the right Questions

Intel S2 does IPB which isn't always a product the 3 can use
infantry wants to be able to look at a product and say "can I land a C-130 there"? yes I can b/c the color of the map says I can
- thus, it is imprtant to have stakeholders like pilots
_ don't let intel guys do intel within their own circle of trust
- S2/3 should work close togeth
206

entirely on US having access to these areas to be the joint forces center

S. America and China
SOUTHCOM b/c S. AM has untapped resources China may want to overwhelm/bankrupt them
- American interest as well gives them access to our borders
- plus, China is dumping money into the Panama canal and building infrastructure
211
we require certain things of the government we work with
US aid comes with stipulations but China doesn't have that. they just want access.
212
ability of non-intel marine's to do intel stuff
how do you develop a sailor/marine to do critical thining
- need to convince them to think critically befre they realize they need to save a life
- difficult to develop that in the under 20s b/c their brains are still developing
0 asking them to have an old man's head on a young man's shoulders is a big ask

PMR
patient movement request
243
in one exercise, PET replaced the NATO 9-Line with PMR (Patient Movement REquest)
problem...PMR requires the creation of an extensive patient profile which necessitates its completion priort o submission of the evacuation request
- due to time limitation constraints, it wasn't feasible to complete the comprehensive pt profile in advance so they did an abbreviated one
- problem during exercise. shortened PMR template made it fiddiuclt to reporiritize the pt for evacuation. pmr didn't allow for additional pt tobe added or ex hanged on an exiting PMR. hwhen a high acutity pt needed to beevacuated. so no PMR had to be ubmitted which created confusion and duplicate requestos. also confusion about which pt woudl be move dw/organci ERC and edicated MEDWVAC

multinational responses to international crises...what happens after a major trigger event?
- crises follow a typical timeline based on geopolitical and national realities that dictate how the nations will interact with each other
- after a trigger event, nations look to resolutions from an appropriate international organization like the UN
- each nation determines its level of interest in response. might form a coalition

Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.”
